Product Description:
In the blink of an eye, here's everything about "I Dream of Jeannie"
Everyone remembers "I Dream of Jeannie," but how much do you really know about Major Nelson, Major Healey, and Jeannie herself?
TV historian Stephen Cox and photo archivist Howard Frank uncork all the secrets to this supernatural Sixties sitcom. Included here are:
* Rare, outspoken interviews with the cast, actual NASA astronauts, and the show's prolific producer, Sidney Sheldon.
* Astounding, never-before-published photos that fully illustrate the scope of this show's legacy and its permanent place in pop culture history.
* The complete "Bewitched" vs. "Jeannie" squabble.
* Sixteen pages of mystical color images.
* Exclusive peeks into Jeannie's bottle
Yes, Master, this thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated book is a dream come true for every fan of Jeannie.

I found the book a real downer.
I get the feeling Steve Cox was not a fan of "I Dream of Jeannie".
It was a comedy show, but in this book it is basically derided as a TV show without direction or depth.
I don't agree. It was pure fantasy afterall. A genie and her master trying to cope in a real, modern world where genies don't exist and the problems she causes trying to please her master. In one blink she would get Tony into trouble, usually with Dr. Bellows.

I loved this book! Stephen Cox did a great job! It's incredibly well-researched and well-written. I loved the Bewitched chapter, too. Most folks compare the 2 shows to each other anyway, so why not have a chapter of info right there, at the reader's fingertips?
It's chock-full of great pictures, interesting tid-bits and little-known trivia. If you love Jeannie, then you'll love this book!

This book really opened my eyes to just what a kook Larry Hagman was. He did some mighty odd things during the filming of this show, and it's amazing none of that strangness ever translated to the show. After reading this book, I have lost a good deal of respect for the man, but still enjoy the show greater.

Why in the world would any author write about a subject he/she so detested? That's the real question with this book. I don't get it.
The photos are a great addition, as are what little behind-the-scenes trivia exists. There's an awful lot of non-Jeannie "padding," as if the author couldn't find enough to write about the show and just stuck in some "stuff" to fill in space- like a whole chapter of an irrelevent real-life death, and the entire end chapter on "Bewitched," of all things!. ...

Hi!
I'm only 16 years old, so I didn't grew up watching I dream of Jeannie, but I just love the show!! That's why I ordered the book and also Larry Hagman's biography Hello Darlin, which is an awesome book too. Dreaming of Jeannie includes a lot of information an great pictures, the book is also well written. It's only a pity that Steve Cox doesn't seem to like I dream of Jeannie, and that he's more a Bewitched fan. The only thing I didn't like about the book is that the last chapter is ... Read More
